Bing Crosby Demonstrates Pipe Smoking

[mau1]

Did you notice at the very beginning of the clip, Bing tamped down the tobacco with his finger and wiped his finger on his pants. A quick, practiced move. The Woodbine Racetrack in the clip is still in operation, near the airport in Toronto. Nice to see these archived pieces from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) come to light.

Nice to see a guy smoke his pipe without effort. Like he's chewing gum.

I remember back a long time ago in graduate school watching a film (in old school “clicking-clacking” 16 mm film on a projector) where Konrad Lorenz (a scientist in biology) was being interviewed about his work. He sat during the interview casually smoking his pipe, and it was a valuable film to hear about his thoughts behind his monumental work.... but it was also pleasant to watch his casual, comfortable cadence while smoking as well. I wonder if I could find that old film somewhere on YouTube now? I may look and will link it here if I am successful.

It's a shame really that it's not a norm anymore. If I smoke in public (which I do) people just think your trying to be a hipster (unless your an old fart like some of you folks).

Man, using binoculars and smoking his pipe at the same time- and such flair when he brings the glasses up to his eyes.

I was in the yard tossing a frisbee with my daughter the other day smoking my pipe. As these young gals drove past, they laughed at me. ??
I guess at 38 I'm not old enough to be an old fart nor young enough to be hip. But my Dad bod is on point. ???

Dallas, if young women notice you at all- you still got it.

I'll take pitty love ??

I'll take pitty love ??

I'm going to go deep here for a sec... hear me out.

It seems to me that if they are already laughing...cha-ching! You still got it.

I wouldn't assume that they found you ridiculous- or pitiable. Women have odd ways of demonstrating admiration for men. On the other hand. those females might be nervous about your hypothetical potential as a partner and of course, a potential threat. A grown man, in his prime is pretty intimating to most women and they have developed numerous strategies to deal with a power disparity. Perhaps they were attempting to reduce the disparity and even negate it by laughing at a pheromone emitting male. It works to dissipate the obvious situation. A man in the presence of young and ovulating females. Think about how uncomplicated this would be to understand the situation with any other species of mammal. The fact that you are demonstrating your viability as a parent makes attraction but also makes nervous. Try to enjoy when women get nervous around you. It's a good thing. It's the power of being a human male in his prime. If you are happily married- so much the better. Limited time offer.

After that they are are no longer laughing when a man is perceived to be a harmless grandpa. Then, I suppose they feel that it's relatively safe to hang out with you. It's very nice to have females feel safe and they come in close again. That is enjoyable too.

That is a good point! Not married, I am celibate. I have talked to my daughter about me dating again but she doesn't like the idea LOL, she's 7 and very much a daddy's girl.
